A practical reading method
Make a Dyslexia-Friendly Reading Return Cue
Record chapter and page plus one concrete scene or heading landmark. Write one short return question on its own line using familiar words. Present the cue in the reader's preferred type, spacing, contrast, or audio format and let them revise it.
Use this when a reader wants less decoding work at the start of the next session. A long summary can recreate the effort that caused the stop. A compact, visually distinct cue lowers the cost of re-entry.
